With tmpgenc the times are generally from 2x to 6x the playing time (depending on the CPU you have of course).
Or it's more easy to say that is 3 times longer then CCE (and probably MC).

Phew!!! if I take appx 3.5 hours on the MC(with the avs scripts) then it would mean around 10.5 hrs appx per 60-70 min of movie. Thats tooo much, probably you need to forget your PC once you put it to encode.

If I remember correctly it took about 8 hours per movie, on a athlonXP 2500 with 768 mb ddr.

This was with the "high quality" setting, you could set this to "motion estimate", this will speed up your encoding but is don't what the quality will be like in this case.

Karl, take a look a kvcd.net main page.
It seems forsaken!

Yes, I saw it last night.
I already PM'ed gamma so he could send me the original screenshots, and I'll post them locally

Edit:
I see your picture is gone too
Do you have it around

You have one in:

http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=117888#117888

but please don't link it straight, but host it in your server.

Downloaded an linked locally.

Thanks,

Sorry guys, I don't have the original ones anymore.. BUT I will make some new ones, I remember more or less which screenshot's I've taken....

btw I only see 1 pic which has been removed, the rest loads ok.

2 pics don't load...

@kwag, i'll mail you the pics soon!

@kwag: just mailed the pictures to your gmail!

And added some new ones:





And of course the missing ones:





Sorry, I couldn't resist

Thanks

No problem!

Sorry for this vague question, what is "MA"???

Also did you use standard KDVD templates for TMPGEnc or changed some of the settings. If you have made some tweaks can you post them also i.e. VBV, GOP, DC precision used.

The "Motion Adaptative" script. That is the one that you will find in the optimal script section. There : http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3483

I used the standard kdvd template, with picture size at 704x576. VBV on 0 (=auto), DC 8bits (because of lower bitrates). The rest just the settings from the template.

Most important is the script

What do you loose if you encode at 704x576 instead of 720x576. I know you gain bits since you encode in lesser resolution, so better quality but in laymans terms.........Do i still see full screen pictures (with letterbox) even on a widescreen TV or will there be boxes on the left/right also.

my question is like 720x576 Vs 704x576.....advantages....disadvantages

You lose nothing, 704x576 contains all the necessary details for TV. Incredible has explained it in several threads, try the search if you need a more techical explanation. My guess is that his explanation can be found in the "to resize or not to resize" -thread.

And don't forget that the same goes for 352x576 or 480.
You will always see the full movie image but only constrained in a smaller box .
You will only loose active movie pixels if you treat your overscan area in overlap mode instead of the resize mode.
And just in case you won't know what overscan is, it is left/right edges which won't be visible on regular TV screens.
As far as I know only projectors and maybe plasma screens are not affected by overscan.
But Andrej will probably explain it better than me.
I for one prefer the overlap overscan instead the resized overscan.
But many will tell you the opposite .
Cheers
